If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels more “you” and less cookie-cutter, a traditional sponge cake might not hit the spot. So how about something a little more savoury, a little more unexpected... like a wedding cake made entirely of cheese?
Yes, we’re talking full wheels of the good stuff, stacked high and looking fabulous. Here’s how to make it just right:

How Much Cheese Do We Actually Need ?
That depends on when you’re serving it.
💛 After dinner ? Aim for about 100–150g per person.
🧀 Evening grazing table ? You’ll want more—around 200–250g per guest.
Trust us, dancing and mingling builds up an appetite.

Serving It Up
There are a couple of ways to go about this:
Ask your caterer or venue team to pre-slice the cheese for easy grab-and-go portions.
Or, embrace the DIY spirit and leave out a few small cheese knives so guests can help themselves. (Bonus: the cheese lasts longer when left in larger blocks or wheels, and it won’t dry out so quickly.)

What Goes With It ?
The beauty of a cheese cake is the freedom to pair it with whatever you love. A few crowd-pleasing options:
Fresh grapes, figs, or even a handful of quirky kumquats
Crunchy celery and carrot sticks
Chutneys, pickles, and a mix of savoury crackers
Maybe even some cured meats for the meat-lovers among your guests
There’s no wrong answer here—make it personal.
Building Your Cheese Tower
Start strong. Literally.
Your base layer should be a sturdy, mature cheddar or something similarly firm—it needs to carry the weight of the tower.
From there, mix it up with different textures, shapes, and colours. A soft brie, a blue, maybe something with a funky rind for visual drama. Three to four layers is the sweet spot for both stability and style.
One Last Tip: Let Your Wedding Cheese Cake Tower Breathe
Cheese tastes best at room temperature. So make sure to take it out of the fridge with enough time to warm up before serving—it’ll be creamier, tastier, and way easier to slice.
Whether you’re full-on fromage fanatics or just want a quirky twist on tradition, a cheese wedding cake is a surefire way to impress your guests and make your celebration deliciously memorable.
